Propagation Time
Chinese roses can be propagated in any season except winter. It is generally recommended to propagate during the vigorous growth periods of spring and autumn, specifically from April to May or September to October each year. During this period, the plant's branches have strong growth activity, which can quickly root and sprout, improving the survival rate of propagation.
Propagation Soil
Perlite is breathable and water-permeable. Peat soil is rich in nutrients, loose and fertile. Vermiculite can absorb water and has strong water retention. Therefore, the propagation culture soil can be mixed with perlite + vermiculite + peat soil in a ratio of 1:1:1.
Propagation Methods
1. Branch cutting: Hardwood cutting can be done from when the Chinese rose enters dormancy to the following spring before sprouting. Use healthy, disease-free hardwood as cuttings, water the soil thoroughly after cutting, cover with plastic film, and remove the film once the cuttings have sprouted.

Softwood cutting can be performed in both spring and autumn. Choose healthy, disease-free flower branches from the current year as cuttings, dip the bottom cut in indole butyric acid powder, and control the temperature at 2-5°C. After about a month, they can root.
2. Bud propagation: Select strong, full buds from the base of the main branches as cutting materials. After appropriate pruning and cleaning, you can proceed with cutting. It is also necessary to cover with plastic film to keep the soil moist, ventilate 1-2 times a day, and after about half a month, they can root. The film can be removed after 20 days.
By choosing the appropriate time and suitable cuttings for propagation, Chinese roses can be successfully propagated 100%. There is a difference between branch cutting and bud propagation. You can follow the method for cutting, and within a month, they will root and sprout.
